Yep yep! The first thing I'm trying to get into the habit of doing is simply writing, without worrying about the quality. My inner critic is SO picky! (>_<) The general idea I have is that to be a writer, I have to actually write. If I can't for whatever reason, then writing isn't going to work. So, writing first.

I'm fine with criticism. I believe that either 1) it's true, and I need to accept it, or 2) it's false and I can laugh at it. Getting mad seems silly in any case.

Thanks for the tips!
